It's still winter, and we're still running our online workshops to tackle the "Cost of Living Crisis" by investigating ways we can save not only money, but also time, as well as waste! It sounds impossible. But we love a challenge! Our workshops are free for adults across South Yorkshire and run Monday evenings: https://www.freetechproject.com/unsure-how-to-deal-with-the-cost-of-living-this-winter-shouldve-gone-to-techsavers/ #costOfLiving #CostOfLivingCrisis #SouthYorkshire #Sheffield #Barnsley #Doncaster #Rotherham #onlineLearning #online

Does anyone know of any good free/cheap alternatives to Meetup.com? We do not have the funds in place to cover their monthly fees - but we'd really like to have our online workshops listed on sites/apps where people who want to learn about technology can access them! #Meetup #marketing #publicity #OnlineEvent #PHP

Does anyone in #Sheffield, #SouthYorkshire, or the #UK in general have any suggestions for effective ways to publicise non-profit, community activities (that are online) without using Meta/X and such?

People in England! Can you help us? Like Johnny No.5 in Short Circuit, we need input! We need as many responses as possible from as broad a range of people as possible, whether you're familiar with our delivery or not! It's crucial for our evidence of demand of online/in-person workshops. Thanks! https://cloud.freetechproject.com/apps/forms/s/d98pxAL6cRJckoZJMg7B46cA #England #ITsupport #technology #tech #computing #eLearning #SouthYorkshire #Sheffield #Doncaster #Rotherham #Barnsley

We're so happy to now be hosting our videos away from YouTube and instead on PeerTube - TILvids, to be exact! We've been running our non-profit tech workshops in Northern England for well over ten years now and have an updated video to explain a bit about who we are. https://tilvids.com/w/vYWd9aXyt2DUt2TjjfLf6b Thanks again, @tilvids #TILvids #learning #onlineLearning #lifelongLearning #technology

As we promote alternatives to Google, we ourselves are seeking to put our promotional/tutorial videos on #PeerTube and steer clear of YouTube. Can anyone recommend a PeerTube instance that might be a good fit for us, based on our bio?
